FIELD DEFINITION AND SCOPE

Fields 500-59X contain bibliographic notes. Each note is entered as a separate 5XX field. General notes are recorded in field 500 (General Note). Specialized notes are contained in fields 501-586. Prefer a specific note field if there is one when inputting specialized note information in the 5XX notes area. Otherwise, use a 500 General Note.

Information that appears in the notes area on printed output or machine displays is not always recorded in a specially defined 5XX note field. Data is sometimes carried in a structured or coded form in another field (e.g., field 086 (Government Document Classification Number) or field 310 (Current Publication Frequency)). Some of the fields that contain information that is grouped with 5XX note fields in displays and on printed products are listed below.

086 - Government Document Classification Number
246 - Varying Form of Title
247 - Former Title or Title Variations
310 - Current Publication Frequency
321 - Former Publication Frequency
362 - Dates of Publication and/or Sequential Designation
76X-78X - Linking Entry Fields
